L-UNITY7-UWLA-PAK is it for UNITY server or for a voice gateway

I need clarification on the following license product :
L-UNITY7-UWLA-PAK, do I load
the license on the gateway or on unity server
, because when I
registed the product authorization key on cisco webside they asked for the unity servers mac address but in the e-mail they sent with the instruction on how to load the license they talk about the router or the gateway

I know what you are referring to and that is simply a generic email body that is not specific to individual applications.  Rob is correct, the license will be loaded on the Unity server.  On Unity, you use the License File Wizard found in Unity Tools Depot to upload licenses to the PRIMARY Unity server (I note Primary in case you have a Unity Failover deployment).

  • Support for SQL Server 2014 for CMS + Audit Repository?

    We are currently on BusinessObjects 4.1 SP01 Patch 6 on Windows Server 2008 using SQL Server 2008 R2 for our CMS and Audit repository databases.  Is there any information out in regard to when SQL Server 2014 will be supported for the CMS and Audit repositories?
    According to the Product Availability Matrix shown in the screenshot below SQL Server 2012 is supported, right?  One of our DBAs claims there isn't that much of a difference between SQL Server 2012 and 2014, but I am not willing to try it if it isn't officially supported.
    Thanks,

  • Scripting for Windows Server Backup for Exchange 2010

    Hi,
    I'm new to writing scripts and was wondering if anyone could assist with writing a script to backup an Exchange Server in a windows 2008 r2 environment.  I currently use Windows Server Backup with a full VSS backup to run exchange backups, however,
    each backup overwrites the previous one, and i would really like to have multiple backups.  I would also like  to specify backup log locations, and have emails sent upon successful backups or failed backups.  I am trying to write this powershell
    but cant seem to get things to work.
    Thanks
    Debbian

    You can use PowerShell in conjunction with the Windows Backup command line utility, wbadmin.exe. The code below should help get you started. I have included the date in order to help maintain multiple back ups, but if you do more than one back up per day,
    you will need to change the date format to include the time. You cannot control the built in logging of Windows Backup, but you could collect your own backup information and write that out to a text file. As far as sending emails, look into the Send-MailMessage
    cmdlet including the -Attachment parameter that could send your log file with your mail message. Cheers.
    $Date = Get-Date -Format 'MM-dd-yyyy'
    $Path = "\\server\share\$Date"
    New-Item -Path $Path -ItemType Directory | Out-Null
    Start-Process wbadmin.exe -ArgumentList "start backup -backupTarget:$Path -allCritical -vssFull -quiet"

  • Increase Performance and ROI for SQL Server Environments

    The Buzz from Microsoft Ignite 2015
    NetApp was in full force at the recent Microsoft Ignite show in Chicago, talking about solutions for hybrid cloud, and our proven solutions for Microsoft SQL Server and other Microsoft applications.
    Hot topics at the NetApp booth included:
    OnCommand® Shift. A revolutionary technology that lets you move virtual machines back and forth between VMware and Hyper-V environments in minutes.
    Azure Site Recovery to NetApp Private Storage. Replicate on-premises SAN-based applications to NPS for disaster recovery in the Azure cloud.
    These tools give you greater flexibility for managing and protecting important business applications.

    If your organization runs databases such as Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle DB, you probably know that these vendors primarily license their products on a "per-core" basis. Microsoft recently switched to "per-core" rather than "per-socket" licensing for SQL Server 2012 and 2014. This change can have a big impact on the total cost of operating a database, especially as core counts on new servers continue to climb. It turns out that the right storage infrastructure can drive down database costs, increase productivity, and put your infrastructure back in balance.
    In many customer environments, NetApp has noticed that server CPU utilization is low—often on the order of just 20%. This is usually the result of I/O bottlenecks. Server cores have to sit and wait for I/O from hard disk drives (HDDs). We've been closely studying the impact of all-flash storage on SQL Server environments that use HDD-based storage systems. NetApp® All Flash FAS platform delivers world-class performance for SQL Server plus the storage efficiency, application integration, nondisruptive operations, and data protection of clustered Data ONTAP®, making it ideal for SQL Server environments.
    Tests show that All Flash FAS can drive up IOPS and database server CPU utilization by as much as 4x. And with a 95% reduction in latency, you can achieve this level of performance with half as many servers. This reduces the number of servers you need and the number of cores you have to license, driving down costs by 50% or more and paying back your investment in flash in as little as six months.

    Whether you're running one of the newer versions of SQL Server or facing an upgrade of an earlier version, you can't afford not to take a second look at your storage environment.
    End of Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2005 is Rapidly Approaching
    Microsoft has set the end of extended support for SQL Server 2005 for April 2016—less than a year away. With support for Microsoft Windows 2003 ending in July 2015, time may already be running short.
    If you're running Windows Server 2003, new server hardware is almost certainly needed when you upgrade SQL Server. Evaluate your server and storage options now to get costs under control.
    Test Methodology
    To test the impact of flash on SQL Server performance, we replaced a legacy HDD-based storage system with an All Flash FAS AFF8080 EX. The legacy system was configured with almost 150 HDDs, a typical configuration for HDD storage supporting SQL Server. The AFF8080 EX used just 48 SSDs.
    Table 1) Components used in testing.
    Test Configuration Components
    Details
    SQL Server 2014 servers
    Fujitsu RX300
    Server operating system
    Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 Standard Edition
    SQL Server database version
    Microsoft SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition
    Processors per server
    2 6-core Xeon E5-2630 at 2.30 GHz
    Fibre channel network
    8Gb FC with multipathing
    Storage controller
    AFF8080 EX
    Data ONTAP version
    Clustered Data ONTAP® 8.3.1
    Drive number and type
    48 SSD
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    The test configuration consisted of 10 database servers connected through fibre channel to both the legacy storage system and the AFF8080 EX. Each of the 10 servers ran SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition.
    The publicly available HammerDB workload generator was used to drive an OLTP-like workload simultaneously from each of the 10 database servers to storage. We first directed the workload to the legacy storage array to establish a baseline, increasing the load to the point where read latency consistently exceeded 20ms.
    That workload was then directed at the AFF8080 EX. The change in storage resulted in an overall 20x reduction in read latency, a greater than 4x improvement in IOPS, and a greater than 4x improvement in database server CPU utilization.
    Figure 2) NetApp All Flash FAS increases IOPS and server CPU utilization and lowers latency.
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    In other words, the database servers are able to process four times as many IOPS with dramatically lower latency. CPU utilization goes up accordingly because the servers are processing 4x the work per unit time.
    The All Flash FAS system still had additional headroom under this load.
    Calculating the Savings
    Let's look at what this performance improvement means for the total cost of running SQL Server 2014 over a 3-year period. To do the analysis we used NetApp Realize, a storage modeling and financial analysis tool designed to help quantify the value of NetApp solutions and products. NetApp sales teams and partners use this tool to assist with return on investment (ROI) calculations.
    The calculation includes the cost of the AFF8080 EX, eliminates the costs associated with the existing storage system, and cuts the total number of database servers from 10 to five. This reduces SQL Server licensing costs by 50%. The same workload was run with five servers and achieved the same results. ROI analysis is summarized in Table 2.
    Table 2) ROI from replacing an HDD-based storage system with All Flash FAS, thereby cutting server and licensing costs in half.
    Value
    Analysis Results
    ROI
    65%
    Net present value (NPV)
    $950,000
    Payback period
    six months
    Total cost reduction
    More than $1 million saved over a 3-year analysis period compared to the legacy storage system
    Savings on power, space, and administration
    $40,000
    Additional savings due to nondisruptive operations benefits (not included in ROI)
    $90,000
    Source: NetApp, 2015
    The takeaway here is that you can replace your existing storage with All Flash FAS and get a big performance bump while substantially reducing your costs, with the majority of the savings derived from the reduction in SQL Server licensing costs.
    Replace your existing storage with All Flash FAS and get a big performance bump while substantially reducing your costs.
    Maximum SQL Server 2014 Performance
    In addition to the ROI analysis, we also measured the maximum performance of the AFF8080 EX with SQL Server 2014. A load-generation tool was used to simulate an industry-standard TPC-E OLTP workload against an SQL Server 2014 test configuration.
    A two-node AFF8080 EX achieved a maximum throughput of 322K IOPS at just over 1ms latency. For all points other than the maximum load point, latency was consistently under 1ms and remained under 0.8ms up to 180K IOPS.
    Data Reduction and Storage Efficiency
    In addition to performance testing, we looked at the overall storage efficiency savings of our SQL Server database implementation. The degree of compression that can be achieved is dependent on the actual data that is written and stored in the database. For this environment, inline compression was effective. Deduplication, as is often the case in database environments, provided little additional storage savings and was not enabled.
    For the test data used in the maximum performance test, we measured a compression ratio of 1.5:1. We also tested inline compression on a production SQL Server 2014 data set to further validate these results and saw a 1.8:1 compression ratio.
    Space-efficient NetApp Snapshot® copies provide additional storage efficiency benefits for database environments. Unlike snapshot methods that use copy-on-write, there is no performance penalty; unlike full mirror copies, NetApp Snapshot copies use storage space sparingly. Snapshot copies only consume a small amount of storage space for metadata and additional incremental space is consumed as block-level changes occur. In a typical real-world SQL Server deployment on NetApp storage, database volume Snapshot copies are made every two hours.
    First introduced more than 10 years ago, NetApp FlexClone® technology also plays an important role in SQL Server environments. Clones are fully writable, and, similar to Snapshot copies, only consume incremental storage capacity. With FlexClone, you can create as many copies of production data as you need for development and test, reporting, and so on. Cloning is a great way to support the development and test work needed when upgrading from an earlier version of SQL Server. You'll sometimes see these types of capabilities referred to as "copy data management."
    A Better Way to Run Enterprise Applications
    The performance benefits that all-flash storage can deliver for database environments are significant: more IOPS, lower latency, and an end to near-constant performance tuning.
    If you think the performance acceleration that comes with all-flash storage is cost prohibitive, think again. All Flash FAS doesn't just deliver a performance boost, it changes the economics of your operations, paying for itself with thousands in savings on licensing and server costs. In terms of dollars per IOPS, All Flash FAS is extremely economical relative to HDD.
    And, because All Flash FAS runs NetApp clustered Data ONTAP, it delivers the most complete environment to support SQL Server and all your enterprise applications with capabilities that include comprehensive storage efficiency, integrated data protection, and deep integration for your applications.
    For complete details on this testing look for NetApp TR-4303, which will be available in a few weeks. Stay tuned to Tech OnTap for more information as NetApp continues to run benchmarks with important server workloads including Oracle DB and server virtualization.

  • Exchange Server Installation for a DAG environment

    I have prepared 6 servers for exchange 2013 installation :
    2 for DC and ADC   -- OS windows server 2012 R2
    2 for CAS Role       -- OS Windows server 2012
    2 for Mailbox Role  -- OS Windows Server 2012 
    As Windows Server 2012 R2 is not supported for installing Exchange 2013 i decommissioned 4 Servers ( CAS and Mailbox ) and starting from scratch.
    Will the above scenario work now ... like having Domain controller OS  in Server 2012 R2  and CAS and Mailbox Server Roles in Server 2012 Version ?
    How to install individual Server role for exchange server 2013 ( i mean CAS role on 2 servers and Mailbox on 2 servers). are there any steps to follow on for this ?
    Please let me know on this.

    Windows 2012 R2 will work for a server OS for your Domain Controllers.  However, the Forest and Domain functional levels need to be Windows 2012 or less. 
    For your Exchange 2013 servers, there are a lot of unanswered questions here and these forums only give us a certain amount of space and time to explain the entire installation process.   If this is for production and your not sure what to do,
    your best bet is to hire a consultant to help you out to make sure you get all the ins and outs.  At the very least you can get assistance in your deployment.  If you don't have budget for this or are creating a test lab, you can always try using
    the Exchange Deployment -
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/exchange/jj657516.aspx.  This might give you an idea of how to proceed.
    There are a lot of examples of Exchange installs out there as well.  If this is a lab, these are well worth looking through and tinkering with to get to know the product better: 
    Example -

  • Acrobat XI Pro Install via CCP Packager for Enterprise unuseable - tips for the unitiated

    Well, after at least six weeks of trying to script and package Acrobat XI via the CCP packager for enterprise (Windows 7 X64) I have learnt many home truths which I thought I would share with the unitiated. This process, from the point of view of an IT admin who has to mass deploy this application to 680 PC's as part of an updated SOE has been the most painful scripting process I have ever found of any package (we successfully deploy Office, and Autodesk apps!). Not only that, but our entire State technical colleges have all purchased the same version. This will be affecting IT staff across a huge area, perhaps worldwide. Below are some some facts relating to this that I will share so others do not have to trawl the minefiled of dead-ends and confusion that is Adobe forums/official documentation. Apologies for not finding direct links to all of the below just yet but I've run out of time as we now have MANUALLY install Acrobat XI on all of these machines. When I get time I will post some of the links:
    Facts:
    Acrobat XI and Lightroom are NOT "CC" packages. Therefore they rely on a spearate serial numbers to install standalone without another major Adobe product (eg Photoshop) to be installed and then run first. Otherwise they will run in trial mode. If your organistaion is wanting to install these products I highly recommend seeing if Adobe can provide you with these.
    Without the use of serial number for Acrobat XI this almost renders the Customisation Wizard effectively useless, none of the silent install switch will work with "Offline Exception"
    Yes, one Adobe employee notes that you must install a major package before Acrobat but as the aoplogies for not fixing this were posted last August, we are still in the quandry of not having any useable fix except for the ridiculous "Exceptions" file and Exceptions installer.
    If you run the Build and/or execeptions msi's it installs Acrobat twice, gold Adobe, gold.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/6039529#6039529 - look at this for a working script for Photoshop etc, it's great.Thanks to http://forums.adobe.com/people/PetriRiihikallio for posting this. However, alas, it cannot silently install Acrobat correctly (thus far).
    It appears that the msi builder for CCP for enterprise is fatally flawed. I have never had as much problem with installing msi's -  ever. For example, I have had to re-package the msi multiples times and many times simply running the msi will fail.
    The idea that all major installs have to install the 32 bit version AND the 64 bit version is riduclous, enough said.

    I think for the time being I have now wasted enough time trying to tear my hair out with this. I will be waiting for Adobe to announce Acrobat and Lightroom CC. this will enable the correct deployment of a single app without having the bloat my SOE with unnecessary applications that most staff rarely use. Ahhh, I love a good manual install via VNC/RDP, don't you?

    Hi Waltpenner and others, yes it can be very confusing and writing script after script got me even more confused.
    Now, the story continues, after 6+ hours on the phone with Adobe Support...
    When you install Adobe Acrobat XI it asks you to install the C++ Redistributable package and this is where the msi will STOP INSTALLING. even though the MSI says "complete"
    Now you think to yourself, OK, I'll write a script to install this msi package no problems, solved.
    Nope, the msi for Acrobat Pro XI will Still Halt even if you write this into the script along with halt no err or something similar in your code.
    So what do you do?
    When you create your msi in Cloud Packager, even though this feels completely against your better judgement tick the box under conflicting Process entitled "Ignore Conflicts and Continue installations" This will (finally) allow you to run the msi. Please see the wonderful deployment script above, which you may still need to edit to your needs (I did) - which I post once it's working perfectly.
    You could then install the C++ redist from Microsoft at a later date ----> On that note however (thanks Microsoft for this gem) the Visual C++ redist is an msi for download, but it's actually a zip file calling an exe inside it. I suggest using the App Deploy Repackager  to help you change registry entries if you need to install this, but choose your favourite tool (and no I'm not talking about that work colleague you don't like
    Note: You will need to install this for certain features of Acro Pro XI to function, most of which relates to sever functions of Acrobat. I will post the exact reasons when I find them. Under pressure to get this deployed, I have not deployed this pckage as yet. Also, I'm unsure how Visual C++ will affect other major apps across my enterprise just yet.
    Things to still consider
    Acrobat still installs twice in the program directory (1.7GB nd 1.8GB respectively)
    As all of the other CC packages are quite easy to install, Adobe needs to provide better service to it's enterprise customers by creating a proper version of Acrobat and Lightroom which is Acrobat CC and Lightroom CC, not version numbers tacked onto their new Cloud Service.
    As for the above point I would still recommend creating the smallest msi packages you can, as large msi's that install a number of Apps (eg all of the web/image editing apps) take forever and quite often exhibit install errors
    The amount of time I've spent on this is ridiculous, and we've had to package everything from Office to Autocad.
    The amount of bandwidth I've chewed up is excessive, with package re-creation (download) of all the products probably about 100GB - however the ability to edit these packages with updates with the CCP is a good step forward.
    Using the CCP through a proxy is horrendous, and complicated with the amount of exception through the servers you have to prvide (even then it rarely works).
    The MSI packager still needs quite alot of work. As Petri states why he had to write a script like this when Adobe could have done the same thing is beyond him.
    Adobe needs to trawl it's forum posts and take out the many false leads and dead ends provided by it's experts.
    When I Think of anything else, or wite more scipts I'll let you all know.
    Cheers,

  • Licensing for Unity Connection after Upgrade from 8.5 to 9.1.2

    I upgraded my Unity connection from 8.5.1 to 9.1.2. ( my CUCM is still on 8.5.1) . I have 200 CUWL-STD ( 2200 DLUs), and 50 CUWL-PRO (850 DLUs) . Now I am working with Cisco to get a license file for Unity Connection and apply that to my ELM. I attached my licensing page for when I was in 8.5.1 . Just want to make sure if I will be getting enough license with that license file, or possibly I need to buy more. Someone told me that if I want to have users with mailbox I need to order more licenses since every user take one CUWL license.
    Honestly i do not know how CUWL licensing work regardig to Unity or even CUCM.
    Thanks,

    Hi,

  • Where can I get window os 2003 for unity 5.0(1) for MCS7835I1 platform?

    Dear All,
    I didn't receive any DVD on window os 2003 for unity 5.0(1) for MCS7835I1 platform for my purchase.
    I only have got the IP Telephony OS 2003.1.1 which stated in the document that it is not for Unity.
    So I tried to open case to TAC but they asked us to look from Microsoft but I believed that normal window os will not be able to install on MCS sever, am I right? So where actually can I look for this window os?
    Thanks in advance
    Jarunee

    Hi Jarunee,
    You have 2 options:
    1) You purchased the MCS-7835-I1-ECS1, I would expect this one to come with the platform configuration disk (PCD). If you did not get this you will need to contact customer service as outline in this document
    2) You purchased another flavor of this server model such as MCS-7835-I1-IPC1 or directly from IBM. This will not come with the PCD. For this you will not get a PCD and you will need to supply the operating system yourself.
    The installation guide covers both scenarios to set up Unity either with PCD or self supplied OS.

  • Configuring Unity Directory Handler for President to Secretary

    Hello,
    I'm trying to figure out how to do this and I'm pretty much stumped. We've got a directory handler configured in Unity for people to type the Last Name, First Name so they can find the user they wish to reach. This is based off of the voicemail accounts and our President has her voicemail hidden from the directory, but recently she states she wants to be listed in the directory but have it go to her secretary and not her. How would I go about achieving this? It seems the alternate names are there but only work for when the directory handler is voice enabled which we don't utilize.    

    Easiest way to do this is to create a new user that has the same first/last name as the president, but an undialable extension (think 20 character long string no one would accidentally dial), have it listed in the directory but under the Message Actions settings for that user have it set to relay the inbound voice messages to the SMTP address of the secretary.  You can also, of course, setup the transfer string for that dummy user to ring the secretary's phone as well if that's what you want to happen...
    of course since this user is listed in the directory when employees go to send her a message they will find this user as well which may or may not be what you want (not sure if she's hiding from external or internal users).  If the desire is for the "real" user to be found internally but not be found by external calls you can tuck that dummy user into a partition of it's own and create a search space that includes the existing partition and this dummy partition and have that used for the directory handler so outside callers will reach them using this mechanism - employees are part of the standard partition and will therefore not find the president by name as is the case today.
    or vice versa if the other way is what they want...

  • MCS-7845-H2-CCX2 for Unity 7.x

    Is it possible to use a MCS-78945-H2-CCX2 for Unity 7.x?
    There was an ordering mixup and it is too late to return the server so can I repurpose it for Unity?
    What are my options besides UCCX?

    No, you can't use it for Unity.

  • Unity Data Store for unity 8

    Guys,
      Im installing unity 8.0.3  , but unfortunately stuck at " cisco data store" .When i searched google itsays to install "sql server 2005 sp3" or"sql server express 2005 sp3". I installed express , but unity assistant still shows the result as "failed".
    Any help from u guys will be appreciatable.

    You should take a look at the "Read Me" file as it states that the Unity Data Store DVD for Unity 8 is NOT available for download.  Refer to the following:
    Do Not Use the Cisco Unity Data Store 2000 Disc from Cisco Unity 7.x and Earlier to Upgrade to Cisco Unity 8.0
    If you are upgrading to Cisco Unity 8.0 and reinstalling software on the Cisco Unity server (for example, because you are replacing the server or upgrading to Windows Server 2003), you must use the Data Store 2000 disc that ships with Cisco Unity 8.0. The Data Store 2000 disc that shipped with earlier versions of Cisco Unity has a different directory structure, and the Cisco Unity System Setup Assistant, which guides you through installing and configuring Cisco Unity 8.0, will not recognize the Data Store 2000 disc that shipped with Cisco Unity 7.x and earlier. (If you paid for an upgrade to SQL Server 2005, we will ship you a Data Store 2005 disc with the rest of your Cisco Unity software.)
    The Cisco Unity 8.0 version of the Data Store 2000 disc is not available for download on Cisco.com. To perform an upgrade that requires reinstalling software on the Cisco Unity server, you must either wait for the Cisco Unity 8.0 installation discs to arrive or manually install SQL Server 2000 or MSDE 2000. Manually installing the application is not documented and, therefore, not supported.
    There's your answer.  You need to order the upgrade kit from Cisco in order to get the proper DVD.
